X-Division Champion Matt Sydal has been making waves during his time with Impact Wrestling and his exciting brand of in-ring action is resonating with fans.

Sydal is enjoying the creative freedom that he is afforded by the company.

“We’re creating an ethereal consciousness during the match,” Sydal said, during an interview with Sporting News. “There’s a symbiotic relationship that we’re co-creating together and I want them feeling the same mystical experience that I am going through simultaneously. I just am trying to do more. It’s easy to go out there and wrestle. It’s hard to go out there and try new things, to create an atmosphere.”

The current state of wrestling is re-igniting his passion for the business.

“Wrestling used to be like this — it was this bathtub that we will fill up from only one faucet,” Sydal said. “It was mainly WWE filling the tub of love of wrestling for the entire world. And because of the internet, technology, the interconnectedness of people and the desire of independent artists to create their own work, this resurgence of wrestling has come up and it’s reinvigorating for me.”

Sydal now turns his attention to Brian Cage, whom he faces at Slammiversary.

“Someone like Brian Cage, he’s a gigantic man who is trying to wrestle like me,” Sydal stated. “That’s his mistake because I clearly hold the top card in someone who is wrestling like Matt Sydal. I see things from a higher perspective. I can know what Brian Cage is doing before he’s doing it because he’s doing me. I’ve been facing the man in the mirror my entire life. That’s been my hardest battle is the one where it’s me versus me.”

Mickie James’ career will carry on as the future Hall of Famer has once again become the Knockouts World Champion following her defeat of champion Jordynne Grace at Impact Wrestling’s Hard to Jill PPV event.

This will mark James’ fifth reign as Knockouts Champion.

James kicked off her Last Rodeo back in September 2022, stating that her career would come to an end the next time that she lost a match. Since then, James has defeated the likes of Mia Yim, Taylor Wilde, and Gisele Shaw, and others as well.

Hard to Kill also saw Masha Slamovich become the new number one contender for the title, setting up a clash with James that may very well be the perfect time to crown a new Knockouts Champion, as Slamovich has been on a meteoric rise of her own.

Chelsea Green has been rumored to be making her return to WWE in the near future following her departure from Impact Wrestling, and now she is talking about her potential return to the company.

“I think that I wouldn’t go to AEW, and that’s just a reality for me” Green said, during an interview with WrestleZone’s Bill Pritchard.

“It’s not gonna happen. With WWE, I’m really glad that I left on good terms, although I was sad that I didn’t get to fulfill myself creatively as a wrestler. I still had a great relationship with Triple H. I had a great relationship with Vince, so I am really happy that I’m able to hold my head up high knowing there’s an opportunity for me to possibly go back if they decide it’s the time and the place. But this time would be different because I went into it the first time, and I was just so doe-eyed and niave, and just thought that I deserved to be listened to and deserved to be heard.

Now I realize it’s not always like that. And it’s not always wrestling. It just shows business. Acting is the same way. You’re not going to get everything that you ‘deserve’ or everything that you work for, and all you can do is just go in with a totally open mind and just let things happen. So if I did get the chance to go back, and if someone contacted me, I would absolutely have that conversation.”
